The body of the bear is filled with fiber fill and dressed with cotton fabrics, all accept the boots which are a black felt. There is a bit of brown yarn that I separated and sewed to the top of the head, the eyes and sewn on by hand and are button eyes there are some cute other buttons on the dress of the doll. I once again baked the body at 200 degrees as to steal in the brown acrylic paint. This doll is not good for little tiny ones but better for those in the age group of 7-11 or just those who are older but young at heart. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=780466 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:13:00 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=725814 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=725814"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_766221935_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is one of favorite wall hanging quits that I whacked out a while back; no patterns were used just lots of Halloween cotton, rayon and flannel were used along with some quit batting, a sewing machine and black thread. I did complete this quilt on my sewing machine. I have added loops so that a dowel stick can be placed through or if you like when you purchase this quilt request the bamboo and I will cut a piece for you and ship also.

Both are made with a dark orange fake fur and have button eyes so they both will not be good for tiny kids but rather kids that are between 7-11 or those older kids that a just down right young at heart. Both dogs are filled with fiber fill and have bows around their necks. The mama dog has a button bumble bee button sewn to the ear. Mama could be used as door stop as I have also added a bit of cat litter to make her heavy. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=725671 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:20:48 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=725623 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=725623"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1557113687_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is another 14 inch rag cloth doll from a an old pattern I have laying around, there a 3 dolls all together and they are called the Little sisters. I used cotton doll cloth and rayon cotton fabrics for this doll.

Then I decided to add a purple rabbit from fleece, flowers that are from fleece and cotton fabrics in fact there is a mixture of cotton fabrics and fleece in this applique fleece blanket. I have also added buttons of lady bugs and a butterfly along with some pretty purple trim beading flowers that are in the bunnies hand. This blanket is all original in that not patterns were used I just cut out what I thought the rabbit, flowers, and hearts should look like and appliqued them on using a zigzag stitch. The age group for this blanket is 4-9 http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=353315 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 08:58:41 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=340645 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=340645"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1867461340_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I made 2 crochet baskets using 2 different colors of bulky acrylic yarn; the first one is of black and brown tons and it is a mini and the other is larger and I consider it just a small basket and it of browns, greens, gold tones in the yarn. The black mini basket was crochet doubling the yarn and doing a double stitch and single. In the brown basket there was no doubling and once again it was a single and double stitch, these are also entirely from creative thought and no patterns were use. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=340645 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:34:21 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=335537 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=335537"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1852961705_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This crochet rag rug is made by using two yarns together for extra thickness and the yarn is a thick acrylic yarn of browns and gold coloring. I do not use patterns when I make my rugs so each design is original and each one comes of different. I used my 10 1/2 hook and a double stitch varying with the single stitch. These rugs should be washed on a cool temp and just air dried. This rug measures 23x23. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=335537 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 09:56:41 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=334084 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=334084"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_2145598995_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This bowl is smaller but made with the cotton cording and cotton fabric strips, the fabric is a pretty summer time cotton fabric with many colors in it.

The dress and bonnet are cotton fabrics and I have tied a small bow onto one of the legs. This doll is not for young children because of the staining but also because of the button eyes. The doll is filled with fiber fill and the nose are sewn with my sewing machine for a bit of a different look. She measures 12 inches and is looking for a very good home. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=325644 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:48:45 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=314503 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=314503"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1719040381_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Painted Chalk board; painted with acrylic paints and sealer with a acrylic sealer http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=314503 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:09:45 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=311822 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=311822"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1403991841_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a 29 inch rag cloth; the body is muslin and filled with fiber fill.

The top and skit are Halloween cotton fabrics, the pants are a Halloween flannel and the shoes are brown felt. The facial features are hand done with black embroidery floss and the eyes are miss matched buttons. I used some will black yarn for the hair and it is sewn into the head of the doll.

The final touches are the blush to the checks and ribbon to the dress. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=303135 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:18:12 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=301474 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=301474"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_259933552_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Chalkboard, acrylic paints, a small wall hanging for a kitchen, bathroom or a mud room and sealer with a flat sealer. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=301474 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:56:33 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=297694 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=297694"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1612981937_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> First let mention no patterns were used to create this quilt so it is one of kind as are all my quilts. I have backed this quilt with plaid flannel and quilting batting. The fabrics in this quilt vary lots, cottons, rayon, felt, craft fur buttons, and cotton thread. I call this type of quilting whacking because I just cut out the pieces free hand and place them onto a blank piece of cotton muslin I have appliqued each of the pieces using all kinds of stitches on my sewing machine, I have to mention how proud I am of this quilt it won 3rd place at the fair 2 years ago. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=297694 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:49:51 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=292804 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=292804"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1879304608_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is Little Carol, a 14 inch rag cloth doll made from muslin and stained with walnut stain and brown acrylic paint. She is filled with fiber fill and her hair is a doll yarn hair that was wavy and I pulled it apart a little to make her hair appear more messed up for that aged look. The facial features have been done by hand embroidery and the dress is cotton fabrics with the shes being from a very old wool jacket and the final touch is the pink bow tied around her waist. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=292804 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 08:46:55 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=283264 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=283264"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1319955307_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I made this cute decorative pillows for any chair or a chair in a child's chair.

The body of the doll is muslin and the dress is cotton fabrics, the dress is of a mint green with a floral design and the ruffle around the center is just the fabric turned inside out. The hair of the doll is a golden yarn and there are green bows tied in her hair and the yarn is sewn into the head with quilting thread by hand. This doll is okay for kids between the ages of 4-11 and the reason I state this is because there is one small button on the front of the dress, that of a cat. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=280522 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:02:05 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=277093 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=277093"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1655134225_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This Wall hanging quilt or decorative quilt for a double bed is one of my favorite creations. The quilt is entirely original. It is made from all kinds of cotton fabrics, rayon fabrics, broad cloth, satins, second hand sheets, shirts, ribbon embroidery, buttons. I have used quilting batting and backed it with a green rayon fabric. It is meant more to be a keepsake quilt because of the buttons and ribbon embroidery that I have done in it; the Geisha's have ribbon flowers in their hair. The buttons have been sewn in by hand and most of the quilt was done on my sewing machine. It will need care in cleaning, because of some fabrics, buttons and ribbon. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=277093 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:30:44 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=276487 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=276487"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1401378743_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a set, of a small crochet rag rug and a basket with a lid both are made with my 10 1/2 hook and acrylic yarn that is of various colors. I don't use any patterns, I just design it from my head. I used a double and triple stitch in the rug, along with doubling the yarn for extra thickness and just a single and double in the basket. I also added a little starch to the basket for form it a little, the basket comes with a lid and they both came out very nice. The rug measures 19x18 or one could use it for a center of a dinning table if desired, just use imagination for this set. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=276487 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:13:52 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=276468 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=276468"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1111710128_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This small wall hanging quilt is a colorful scene of what any fall time or autumn.

There are various fabrics used to create the scene. In the scene there is a warm little cottage and plant life, some farm animals having a peaceful day. In the scene it is mostly cotton fabrics with some white felt. The pillow is filled with fiber fill and has a black fringe sew all away around it, the backing of the pillow is some will green cotton fabric that I found in a second hand store, which is what gives this pillow that added personality. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=276416 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:03:12 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=255788 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=255788"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1150080183_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is Duke and he is made from craft felt and filled with fiber fill, his eyes are buttons and there are some colorful cotton fabric patches sewn about him. Because of the button eyes it is suggested that he is more for an older child or those young at heart adults. I used an old MC Calls pattern to make the dog and he is about 16 inches tall, I added the fabric just to create a bit of colorful, bright or different look for him, which was lots of fun. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=255788 Tue, 19 May 2009 08:03:23 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228627 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228627"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1179053525_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I call this the Ye Old Hen House for lots of reasons; it is a wooden jewelery box that I stained with yellow acrylic paint and decorated it with twine, some color card stock and some cute little wooden animals pieces, such as a lamb, hens and some green leafs.

I just used some basic stitches to make this a double stitch to be exact. It is very original as I used no patterns to make it just sat down and started crocheting and came up with a pretty cover. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228594 Mon, 18 May 2009 16:10:10 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228077 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228077"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1950294218_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This crochet rag rug took a little longer because the doubled the country creme yarn and used a 10 1/2 crochet hook and the rug was done larger than most of my rugs. It was done with a simple triple and double stitch with a few decreases in some spots, but it sure turned out to be a nice and fairly heavy round crochet rag rug. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228077 Mon, 18 May 2009 15:45:58 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228036 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228036"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1638312598_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Pumpkin comes from an old McCalls pattern I have and I used a wonderful pumpkin orange upholstery fabric with a bit of a floral design on it. He is filled with fiber fill and has black safety eyes and an embroidered nose. What makes him so interesting is I have stained him with a walnut wax stain, so he really is not for small children, there also is some twine tied around his neck for a bit of favor to him. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228036 Mon, 18 May 2009 15:26:36 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228009 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228009"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_135161749_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This set is just from my imagination, the doll is 19 inches and is made from muslin, filled with fiber fill. They are both a Americana set as one can see from Frillanana's dress which is a type of denim. The facial features of the doll were designed by me and painted with acrylic paints. Her hair is an interesting yarn, white wool, with bits of black in it. Now onto to Dutter, he is made with a blue craft fur and is filled with fiber fill. There is a red ribbon tied around his neck and his eyes are black beads so he would not do well with a tiny child, but instead one that is older, I almost forgot to mention the doll's hair is also sewn into her head. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=228009 Mon, 18 May 2009 14:53:46 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=227971 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=227971"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1645178300_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This 21 inch cloth doll is so sweet, she comes from a vintage pattern that I have up dated a little. How I did that was by using a doll crafting fabric and designing my own facial features onto the doll using embroidery floss. The doll is filled with fiber fill and her out fit is a light weight cotton fabric that is bright and cheerful. The is some soft sculpting done on the doll with her hands, and her shoes are made with black felt. The hair on the doll is a red-orange yarn and is tied with stain ribbon. She is so cute because she kneels and one can place her hands together to make it as though she is praying. I suggest she will be better suited for an older child rather than a young one. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=227971 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 15:13:35 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=201278 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=201278"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_134617606_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Frosted Blueberry is made from a pattern I created on my own so he is quite original. He is made from some wonderful blue washed terry cloth and filled with fiber fill. I have also added a large cotton fabric bow around his neck, his nose is done by hand using black cotton embroidery floss and the eyes are 2 small black beads sewn in to the head. He really is not for small kids, but those kids who are a bit older around the age 6-12 http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=201278 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:22:40 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194227 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194227"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_637980376_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I had some scrapes of fabric laying around and decided that I should create a couple of kittens. So I just cut these out by designing a simple pattern on paper and cutting them fabric out. The fabrics used were Berber, and a cotton quilted fabric that was plaid and old Christmas fabric. I then chose to stain all the fabric with walnut, yes I love my walnut stain. These 2 are more for those young at heart adults and not for small children. Both kittens are filled with fiber fill and have black beads for eyes, and a small amount of embroidery work done to them, finally I used some hemp thread for bows around their necks. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194227 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:59:10 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194181 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194181"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_840146485_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I had some of this great cotton fabric left over and decided to use it. Berber is what the fabric is and I used an old dog pattern to make this guy. This stuffed animal is really not for young children, as I have stained the fabric with a walnut stain and used buttons for eyes, this lonely dog will be best suited for someone older. The dog is filled with fiber fill and the button eyes have been sewn on by hand there is also a bit of embroidery work done and a bow added. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194181 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:32:38 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194152 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194152"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_539516711_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Dandy Day is a 26 inch rag cloth doll, I created her from a 1968-69 pattern of Raggedy Ann. Most of the body is made from muslin, just the legs and feet are different fabrics. The legs are a cotton striped fabric and the feet are black felt. She is filled with fiber fill and I have done some of the facial features by hand using black cotton floss. The eyes are black button sewn on by hand and the hair is a red yarn with gold mixed into it. I have also sewn the hair to the head of the doll. The clothes are cotton fabrics of bright colors. I have also done a bit of staining to the doll, mostly the upper body of the doll. This doll is meant for older children and adults who are young at heart. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=194152 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:02:51 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161744 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161744"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_3075613_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is Dorky the Raccoon who is 23 inches and is a primitive rag cloth doll animal. Dork is not for small children but instead those older but with a young at heart feeling that never ages. I have created Dorky from a 1960 pattern but instead I have made him from quilting batting that has been stained with walnut stain and some black acrylic paints. Dorky is a very color and one of kind looking raccoon. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161744 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:33:04 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161673 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161673"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_138736261_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Once again I used to separate types of bulky yarn; a black bulky yarn and one of many different colors. The rug measures 25x25 and this time is a bit oval shaped with some edging so one can either sit this on a chair a floor, this rug is a bit more decorative; if using these rugs on hard wood floors or tiled floors I recommend getting rug tape to put on the backs of these rugs. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161673 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 10:15:03 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161223 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161223"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_575109344_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> Crochet small hand bag or pocket purse; this is just a simple but fun way to carry that spare change or a small amount of cash. I took to different bulky yarns to make this so it is very thick. I took a black bulky yarn and one yarn with many colors in it and crochet with my 10 crochet hook using both yarns. I used a single stitch and a double to make the pocket purse. This can be for old and young alike to use. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=161223 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:37:44 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=87504 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=87504"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1978533759_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I had this beautiful light weight velvet with a very nice design on it. So I decided to make a bear out of the fabric. I made this sweet 16 inch bear. He will be safe for a small child has there are no eyes or small pieces on him. He is just a very simple bear. I did not add eyes because I thought it would take away from the look of the bear. He is filled with fiber fill and has a pretty bow around his neck. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=87504 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 10:44:13 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79926 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79926"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1076573529_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I made this cloth doll animal rabbit using white cotton muslin and then stained it with instant coffee and a bit of walnut stain. Then I baked the fabric in my oven at very low temp to seal the staining into the fabric. The facial features are designed by me using cotton floss and a button. I wanted to make Bella look as old as can be so her head flops and is not filled completely with fiber fill. The dress is a plaid flannel and is stained also. Bella is not best for small children but an adult who is young at heart. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79926 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 10:20:57 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79899 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79899"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1433805732_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a 14 inch cloth rag doll made from muslin and filled with fiber fill. I call Her Wine Berry because of the color of the yarn which is the color on a berry wine. The yarn is a cotton yarn and is sewn into the head with a heavy thread. I have embroidered her face by hand using cotton floss, the design of the face is my own. The pattern for this doll was an vintage pattern that I redesigned. The clothing for the doll is all cotton fabrics. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79899 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:48:28 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79854 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=79854"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1658804224_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> I made these 2 large round country creme dollies using my 10 1/2 crochet hook.

I used some really cute card stock that looked like the back of a lady but and fabric and added all to the box. There are some lady bug buttons added and a little frog. The jewelry box has been sealed with an acrylic sealer and it just came out so cute. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=63580 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:30:55 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=63296 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=63296"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_1409409454_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a crochet wool acrylic rag rug, I made it using yard. The rug measures 21x21. I use a 10 1/2 hook and some basic stitches to create these rugs. In this one I used a dark green and a deep red- orange to make it. The final touch is the fringe added to the outside. One does have to wash these rugs in a delicate wash and lay flat to dry. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=63296 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:36:40 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=61383 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=61383"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/11497_product_643191884_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> This is a cute hand crafted rag cloth doll made with muslin and filled with fiber fill.

I filled the dog with fiber fill and used brown little safety eyes for the dog. The nose is done with pink cotton floss and done by hand. The last thing I did was to tear some light blue cotton fabric and made bows for around the neck and one ear. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=61238
